ROCK MY COVER LIKE A HURRICANE

In honor of hurricane Irene, my AWESOME, fantastic, beyond-amazing, and totally-accommodating-at-all-times publisher, Rhemalda, has given me permission to reveal the cover of Tangled Tides.

Here. It. Is...


*huge grin*

NOW do you see why I begged for it to be released this weekend? (Actually, I didn't have to beg they were totally on board and supportive.) I mean, hurricane Irene is reeking havoc on the east coast, and my story opens with a hurricane. The cover shows stormy tides. Could it be more perfect timing?
So, what do you think?
Do you love it as much as I do?
I wish I could post it in high def so you could see all of the shimmery detail, but this is as good as it gets for now. It's soooo pretty, yet ominous.
I want to make it into a necklace and wear it close to my heart at all times. That's how much I love it. Rhemalda's art department is incredible. I'm so so proud and happy to call this my cover.

    What a beautiful cover! Love, love, love! And you're right, this is the perfect time to reveal it!

    I can imagine that it made you a little nervous to think about what the cover might be, but your's turned out amazing! I'm hoping my own book's cover is full of equal amount of awesomeness!

    I've got chills. That's like awesome times infinity. I want to frame it and put it on my wall. ♥

    I've lost track of Irene's progress since going to bed last night, but I hope she doesn't/didn't rock you too hard! Stay safe!
